Rocky Balboa

Though this was certainly made for some cynical reason, Rocky Balboa doesn’t have a cynical bone in its whole body. It’s a simple glory-tale sports metaphor with some good writing and a lot of important speeches about “going one more round” etc. Neither great nor bad, it serves as an example of the lesson it teaches – going one more round, for no better reason than you want to.

    There were three things I thought were pretty good in this Rocky movie:
    -Good monologue from Rocky to his whimpering son
    -The training and final fight scene were inspiring and remniscent of the original Rocky (go get 'em Rocky! You can do it!)
    -For a dude who is close to 60, Sylvester is in damn good shape.
